I followed the recipe verbatim and the results were excellent. Next time, I will experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or oregano. We dipped in the pita bread into Tzatziki sauce which was good, but what tasted even better was a light brushing of garlic infused olive oil as they came off the skillet. this was a great family project, and the entire family enjoyed participating.

Wow, these tasted great. They were a little difficult to make, I had to add a lot more flour then what was called for, before I could get the right consistency. While cooking them, mine did not puff up very much, so I had trouble getting the pockets in mine. I had to use my finger to force the bread to open.

I love bread. Lately I've been loving flat breads, andy I've been trying to eat less sugar, so I was happy to try this recipe and stop having to buy pita bread every week. Watching the included video is extremely helpful. I folowed the recipe, and used my kitchen aid with the dough hook and my pita turned out perfect. I'm using this as a starter recipe and will probably make changes depending on my mood. But will definitely make this as is again. In a lot of the reviews I noticed people have been having trouble getting the poof, and I think rolling the dough thinner might help with that. My son was "helping" me and the ones he rolled out were a bit on the thicker side and although they tasted delicious, they didn't poof and i have to cut a pocket in. Once he wandered off, I rolled the dough to be thinner and they all proofed! Best pita ever.

This recipe even works in high altitude. I live at 4800 ft. It was perfect. Two things I will do next time. 1 Use peanut oil to cook the breads. It handles the heat better. 2. Use a soft brush to remove excess flour from the bread rounds before I put them in the hot pan. I had trouble with the excess flour burning. These two steps should make this recipe perfect. Also rolling out the bread with my rolling pin was faster than using my hands and the rolled breads cooked just like the hand patted bread.

Make this all the time and it's great! Better than buying at the store because you know everything that's going into it. I also made this with whole wheat flour, substituting 3/4 cup whole wheat flour for every cup of white flour, and adding more while kneeding if necessary. Turned out great!!!

This recipe was very simple and the result was delicious. We lived in Egypt and this reminded us of the baladi bread we loved so much. I've shared the link to this recipe on my blog along with a fabulously easy lentil soup recipe. The perfect combination to take me back my time in Egypt. www.nataliewalters.wordpress.com Thanks for sharing this recipe and the great video!
